public VernacularName()
```
- Method Detail
  - getTaxonKey
```
public Integer getTaxonKey()
```
    The name usage "taxon" key to which this vernacular name belongs.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getTaxonKey in interface NameUsageExtension
  - setTaxonKey
```
public void setTaxonKey(Integer taxonKey)
```
    Specified by:
    
    setTaxonKey in interface NameUsageExtension
  - getArea
```
@Nullable
public String getArea()
```
    The area for the vernacular name.
    
    Returns:
    
    the area
  - setArea
```
public void setArea(String area)
```
    Parameters:
    
    area - the area to set
  - getCountry
```
@Nullable
public Country getCountry()
```
    The country in which the vernacular name is used.
    
    Returns:
    
    the country
  - setCountry
```
public void setCountry(Country country)
```
    Parameters:
    
    country - the country to set
  - getLanguage
```
@Nullable
public Language getLanguage()
```
    ISO 639-1 language code used for the vernacular name value.
    
    Example: es
    
    Returns:
    
    the language
  - setLanguage
```
public void setLanguage(Language language)
```
    Parameters:
    
    language - the language to set
  - getLifeStage
```
@Nullable
public LifeStage getLifeStage()
```
    The age class or life stage of the species for which the vernacular name applies. Best practice is to utilise a controlled list of terms for this value.
    
    Example: "juvenile" is the life stage of the fish Pomatomus saltatrix for which the name "snapper blue" refers.
    
    Returns:
    
    the lifeStage
    
    See Also:
    
    Life Stage GBIF Vocabulary
  - setLifeStage
```
public void setLifeStage(LifeStage lifeStage)
```
    Parameters:
    
    lifeStage - the lifeStage to set
  - getSex
```
@Nullable
public Sex getSex()
```
    The sex (gender) of the taxon for which the vernacular name applies when the vernacular name is limited to a specific gender of a species. If not limited sex should be empty. For example the vernacular name "Buck" applies to the "Male" gender of the species, Odocoileus virginianus.
    
    Example: male.
    
    Returns:
    
    the sex
    
    See Also:
    
    Sex GBIF Vocabulary
  - setSex
```
public void setSex(Sex sex)
```
    Parameters:
    
    sex - the sex to set
  - getSource
```
@Nullable
public String getSource()
```
    Bibliographic citation referencing a source where the vernacular name refers to the cited species.
    
    Example: Peterson Field Guide to the Eastern Seashore, Houghton Mifflin Co, 1961, p131.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getSource in interface NameUsageExtension
    
    Returns:
    
    the source
  - setSource
```
public void setSource(String source)
```
    Specified by:
    
    setSource in interface NameUsageExtension
    
    Parameters:
    
    source - the source to set
  - getSourceTaxonKey
```
@Nullable
public Integer getSourceTaxonKey()
```
    Description copied from interface: NameUsageExtension
    
    If the source is another name usage this is the taxonKey of that usage. Only useful for the backbone dataset.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getSourceTaxonKey in interface NameUsageExtension
    
    Returns:
    
    The key of the name usage this instance is derived from.
  - setSourceTaxonKey
```
public void setSourceTaxonKey(Integer sourceTaxonKey)
```
    Specified by:
    
    setSourceTaxonKey in interface NameUsageExtension
  - getVernacularName
```
@NotNull
public @NotNull String getVernacularName()
```
    A common or vernacular name.
    
    Example: Andean Condor", "Condor Andino", "American Eagle", "Gänsegeier".
    
    Returns:
    
    the vernacularName
  - setVernacularName
```
public void setVernacularName(String vernacularName)
```
    Parameters:
    
    vernacularName - the vernacularName to set
  - isPlural
```
@Nullable
public Boolean isPlural()
```
    This value is true if the vernacular name it qualifies refers to a plural form of the name.
    
    Example: The term "Schoolies" is the plural form of a name used along the coastal Northeastern U.S. for groups of juvenile fish of the species, Morone saxatilis.
    
    Returns:
    
    the plural
    
    See Also:
    
    Boolean Vocabulary
  - setPlural
```
public void setPlural(Boolean plural)
```
    Parameters:
    
    plural - the plural to set
  - isPreferred
```
@Nullable
public Boolean isPreferred()
```
    This term is true if the source citing the use of this vernacular name indicates the usage has some preference or specific standing over other possible vernacular names used for the species.
    
    Example: Some organisations have attempted to assign specific and unique vernacular names for particular taxon groups in a systematic attempt to bring order and consistency to the use of these names. For example, the American Ornithological Union assigns the name "Pearl Kite" for the taxon, Gampsonyx swainsonii. The value of isPreferredName for this record would be true.
    
    Returns:
    
    the preferred

  - setPreferred
```
public void setPreferred(Boolean preferred)
```
    Parameters:
    
    preferred - the preferred to set
  - equals
```
public boolean equals(Object o)
```
    Overrides:
    
    equals in class Object

```
public int hashCode()
```
